The Cherry blossom of Sakura 28 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.832 billion Sakura 28ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sakura 28ian economy, worth 313 trillion petals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 110,594 petals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, and the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sakura 28's national animal is the green pheasant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sakura 28 is ranked 203,600^th in the world and 393^rd in International Puppet Storage for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 33,289 Standard Monetary Units.
